The Harder They Come
- text

Well, they tell me there's a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all

Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
But just when they think they've got the battle won
I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

So, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
You know, the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Because I know that when you're dead you can't
And I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living like a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, harder they fall
One and all
What I say now
What I say
The
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
